PU Sheet Metal
|
Getting ready to get a paint job for my 56 PU
A-18 But I need a few sheet metal parts. Any suggestions for a source to get a left front fender, right rear fender and passenger door. I will post to the bulletin board also, but I would like to buy NOS or new if available or non rusted used. I have checked Willys America and they seemed to have new tail gates and beds only. Just a thought, Rick Grover, any of these in your secret stash or at the yard you know of? I could have my folks swing by on their way from Tucson to CA. Dad would love the adventure. Thanks all.

From: JIMRUSELL@...Jim, Check Kaiser-Willys Auto Supply. I have their catalogue in front of me here and they list several parts, just not the whole door. Door panels are $65. No fender listed but I would think that they have some. Kendal Jackson --It might look like I'm doing nothing, but at the cellular level I'm really quite busy-- |

(520)574-0360, on Drexel behind Davis Monthan AFB that usually has a lot of old Willys and Jeeps. Then 200 yards down the road is Jack's Gov't Surplus Trucks, lots of old military Jeeps and trucks and old Dodge military vehicles and some of the trailers for behind the Jeeps. I need to go back and nose around in there with my camera. Scott, Tucson AZ From: JIMRUSELL@... |

I have seen good doors in junkyards. Also several flat front fenders. Fewer rear fenders. There aren't very many Willys vehicles in junk yards around Phoenix. One pickup with good rear fenders and two doors was crushed two years ago. Aaaaiiiiiiieeeeeuuuuu....... (Did you feel the ripple in the force?) It was there in the spring. I went back in the fall for some parts to find it gone! "Where is the Willys?" "Oh, I crushed it." "You what!?" I was speechless. I was more than angry, it made me sick. The worst horror I had experienced in years. Rick G. in AZ -----Original Message-----

Willys. I think that Arizona had less than a million people during the years of Willys production. There are a few that were purchased here, but not anywhere near the number in other parts of the country. Most of those I've found look like they came into the state long after AMC ate Kaiser. My pickup is from California and my wagon is from New Mexico! Rick G. in AZ -----Original Message-----

That's the same theory I have about Florida. Most people didn't move down
here until air conditioning became commonly available. The population didn't really start rising until the 60's and 70's. Four wheel drive vehicles have never been as popular down here as up north either, so there weren't nearly as many jeeps sold in Florida during the 40's and 50's. Jeeps have become extremely popular in the last few years though. I think probably because of better marketing strategies (girls like'm now) and the SUV market is better now. - Jerry Tampa, FL '46 CJ-2a #53681 (in many pieces) From: Richard Grover <grover@...>My pickup is from California and my wagon is from New Mexico!trailer.

I need the "Overland" script for the tailgate of my 47 Wagon and the plastic piece that holds the horn button to the steering wheel. Will you see if they have one next time you are there. Jerry (AR) Scott Little wrote: From: Scott Little <slittle@...> |

road trips in my own '56 pick-up, and while visiting a friend in Redding (located on I-5 between Sacramento and the Oregon border) I ended up stopping at a big wrecking yard by the name, I think, of Viking auto wrecking. One of the guys saw my truck and told me they had a bunch like it in their yard. He offered to show them to me. They were on their own row about half a mile back in the lot and he had to drive me there in a junkyard truck. There were about half a dozen Willys pickups & wagons, mostly picked over and banged up, but with some good stuff left, even some chrome. There was also an early Gladiator with the OHC engine looking pretty complete. The guy said they were thinking of crushing the old ones because no one was buying the parts any more. I was sorry I didn't need anything, because there were a few good items there. -----Original Message-----
